Neer Dosa is a special, indigenous recipe from Karnataka, which has a wonderful taste and unique texture despite being made of a plain rice batter!

Yes, it might be hard to believe but the batter for these soft, thin, homely pancakes is made of just rice and salt. This gives the Neer Dosa a very nice texture, which reminds one of the homely and comforting cooking of traditional Kannada families.

Plus, since this batter does not require fermentation, it can be made without having to plan and prepare from the previous day itself.

In this variant, we have made the Neer Dosa with unpolished brown rice instead of white rice. This is very healthy but at the same time, it tastes just like authentic Neer Dosa. Just make sure you serve the Brown Rice Neer Dosa immediately after preparation, to enjoy the best texture.

You can serve it with Sambhar and Chutney , or with grated coconut sweetened with jaggery.
